Goody bag stowage

[Paul Burgess]

Does anyone have any neat suggestions for how to stow a goody bag when something is wriggling inside it? So far I have either carried it (which is a bit of a faff when carrying a torch and SMB) or clipped it off (which results in a severe case of the danglies!

Any better ideas out there?

Send it up on a bag?

Clip it to Digger he wont notice another dangley


On a drift i attach it to the reel. When i bag off i attach it to the reel. If I am laying line and have bagged a big enough lobster for today i tie it off and carry on the dive. Apart from that you just have to carry it.

i too was hopeing that someone might come up with some wonderful idea here. With hands full of cameras I often dont bother with a goody bag, cos it just has to dangle if I do.

I was mulling over sewing on a few boltsnaps onto the mesh at key points and clipping it on like a stage.

Hmmm... If it had a lobby in it, it might be able to get those pesky claws a bit to close for comfort!

I use a ratchet type cable clip (plastic) which I clip as far as possible down the bag so restricting the movements of the 'wriggly'. This is also useful when putting more than one item in a goody bag since it stops them crunching each other up. Also with things like squat lobsters, you can secure the existing catch while adding another into the top of the bag - remove the clip, shake the new catch down and reapply the clip. Otherwise adding another squattie to the bag without all the others escaping is almost impossible.

Using the clip to fasten the bag to a D-ring or other attachment reduces the length of the dangle.
